Lyrics

Verse 1 I found them standing in my door, in the clumsy silence of the poor I've got no time for precious things but at least they won't be wondering If they're sleeping on my stable floor Verse 2 There were no rooms to rent tonight, the only empty bed is mine 'Cause I'm overbooked and overrun with so many things that must be done Until I'm numb and running blind Chorus 1 I need rest, I need rest Lost inside a forest of a million trees, trying to find my way back to me Verse 3 As a boy I heard the old man sing, about a kingdom and a coming King But keeping books and changing beds put a different song inside my head The melody is deafening Chorus 2 I need rest, oh, I need rest Like a drowning man in the open sea, I need somebody to rescue me I need rest Bridge To Rome we're only names and numbers, not souls in search of signs and wonders We're waiting for the day of our salvation, the Messiah who will be our liberation We're waiting I'm waiting Chorus 3 I need rest, I need rest O come, O come, Emmanuel with a sword deliver Israel I need rest Verse 4 Tonight I can't get any sleep, with those shepherds shouting in the street A star is shining much too bright, somewhere I hear a baby cry And all I want is a little peace...
